Golden State Warriors star Steven Curry, who suffered a sprained ankle in his left leg, is making “good progress” in his recovery phase, but will not return to the courts until the NBA playoffs, his team announced on Friday. .

“Stephen will return to individual training next week and his possible return to team training will depend on his continued progress,” the Warriors said, adding that “the next update on his condition will be released on April 11.”

The previous day, in nine days, the end of the regular season will be heard, whose share for the California franchise, currently 4th in the West and ready to secure a place in the playoffs, ends in 3rd place. A distance game against Dallas, the two teams currently have the same record (48-29).

Carrie has not played since his March 16 injury against the Boston Celtics. His foot was caught in a cantilever by Marcus Smart, in an action where they were fighting to catch the ball on the ground.

Since then, after being deprived of the best three-point scorer in history, which is running this season with an average of 25.5 points, the Warriors have suffered six defeats in seven games.

Coach Steve Kerr, who secretly said he hoped his sniper would return for one or two regular season games, recalled his importance to the team as he struggled to return to the top of the league after playing five finals in a row, winning three titles in 2015, 2017 and 2018.

“You can see him in training, he takes the kids aside, he talks to them. “He understands his value as a leader and as a star player,” he said.

As for whether Curry will be able to perform quickly on the floor, Kerr wanted to be absolutely certain: “It only takes one shot to find his rhythm.”
